Promoting the Practice of Clinical Pathway Management in Hospitals Based on the PDCA Circulation Method
With the improvement of hospital competitiveness,the number of hospitals carrying out clinical pathway management is gradually increasing.However,the different basic conditions of different hospitals result in significant differences in the degree and effectiveness of clinical pathways carried out between hospitals.The operational effec-tiveness of clinical pathways requires scientific and effective management.The PDCA cycle is a widely used and effec-tive quality management model in recent years,which has shown good results in improving the admission rate and completion rate of hospital cases.It can be applied to a certain department or disease in a hospital,and the study of clinical pathway coverage,admission rate,and completion rate in the entire hospital.
